Omelettes in micro/oven combi

jamjar,

Does anyone know how to cook omelettes in a combined microwave/convection oven/grill please? I want to use up some of our eggs for lunch, and don't want to turn on the Rayburn which is turned off for a bit of money saving as it runs on LPG.

If you don't have a microwave omelette maker, why not have scrambled eggs instead? These are dead simple in the micro - just mix as usual and cook for a minute or so on a lowish setting, stirring every 20 seconds.

I'm not sure if this one would work in a microwave - but it may be an ok experiment. I also have to add that I've never actually tried this myself - but the website that I copied it from 'raved' about it!

OMELETS IN A BAG

Have you ever heard of this?
(This works great! Good for when all your family is together and no one has to wait for their special omelette)

Have guests write their name on a quart-size freezer bag with permanent marker.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
You can usually cook 6-8 omelettes in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bags and the omelette will roll out easily.

Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

I've heard about doing boil in the bag omelettes, but those bags are not recommended for boiling in, and I don't think it's really the best of ideas!

On this subject, could I make an omelette at home, then take it to work and reheat it in the microwave, or would that be foul?
